It’s so cool to wake up and see that my book - The Power of Effective Reading Instruction is #2 on Amazon’s hot new education releases.

🧵It’s great that @NYSEDNews is finally paying attention to the “science of reading” @GovKathyHochul! A few of us in Syracuse started @reading_league in 2015, now a national nonprofit that supports over 70 school districts across the USA as they transform toward evidence-aligned

@DrMPaff @curriculum_kosd @TimRasinski1 @rrcna_org @plthomasEdD Accuracy FIRST, FOREMOST, & FOREVER is the FOUNDATION of reading fluency. However, must be developed alongside LC components: Background knowledge, vocabulary, language structures, etc. Fluency is the skillful execution and coordination of word recognition AND text comprehension.

Help support your students on their #phonicsjourney with a game like Beat the Clock! ⏰ We played with this game board last week and I got 15 in a minute, how many can you get?

Have fun playing!

These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction.

About one in three American fourth-graders cannot read at a basic level of comprehension.

@AthenaCNN has been digging into the crisis:

[Leigh Fettes @lcfettes]

So many brilliant reminders and nuggets from @HollyLanePhD in tonight’s webinar from MSJ’s Center for Reading Science, from how we get to fluent reading, why automaticity matters, the importance of ongoing/interleaved practice, and how our support must match S needs.

[Reading Horizons @ReadingHorizons]

Teachers deserve the best resources to help their students read proficiently. Reading Horizons listens to the needs of educators to develop these tools while continuously aligning to the #scienceofreading.

One of the most impactful moments was seeing this slide, while hearing Dr. Lane remind us to make the most of every minute. Seemingly small chunks of time rapidly add up (more exposures), or if we’re not careful, disappear into dust.

An update: We’ve got TWO bonus episodes of Sold a Story. Coming in May!

[Hall @teachforever54]

Sharing this one again because I’m still hearing educators producing incorrect sounds for phonemes. How can students learn if WE model it wrong?🧐🤨 https://t.co/CAvCNq4kcM
